Court suspends Mohammed Hegazy's lawsuit pending outcome of separate case.
CAIRO, Egypt, May 17 (CDN) — An Egyptian convert to Christianity said he is devastated by a recent court decision to suspend a lawsuit he filed to change the religion on his identification card from Muslim to Christian.
The First District of the Court of the State Council on April 27 suspended Mohammed Ahmed Hegazy's case until the Constitutional Court rules on a challenge to Article 47, a section of the civil code that in theory allows Egyptians to change the religion listed on their ID card.
Hegazy, 27, said the suspension endangers his children's welfare and will force them to lead a double life indefinitely – at home they will be taught to live in accordance with the Bible, and outside it they will be taught to live according to the Quran.
If they ultimately decide to follow Jesus, Hegazy said, his children will be declared "apostates" and be persecuted the rest of their lives for "leaving Islam." Hegazy, who has suffered severely after Egypt's religious authorities declared him an apostate, including being imprisoned by State Security Investigations (SSI) several times, said he filed the case so his children would avoid the same fate.
"I didn't want them to have to go through the same harassment and persecution that I went through," he said. "My daughter won't be able to go to school without constantly fearing for her safety. She might even be killed simply because she is my daughter."
Hegazy is arguably the most well-known Muslim convert to Christianity in Egypt. He rose to national prominence in August 2007 when he became the first Muslim convert in Egypt to sue for the right to change the religious status on his identification card to "Christian."
Hegazy said he became a Christian in 1998 after seeking God during a period of intense study of religion. In his final assessment, he said, he found that Islam was void of the love and forgiveness found in Christianity.
Not long after his conversion, Hegazy said, he was arrested by SSI agents who tortured him for three days. In 2001, the SSI arrested Hegazy for writing a book of poems critical of the agency, which has been accused of abusive practices to preserve the regime. In 2002, the SSI arrested Hegazy and held him for more than two months in a prison he compared to a "concentration camp."
In addition to the government response to his conversion, Hegazy said his mother and father have attacked him repeatedly for becoming a Christian.
"In the culture in Egypt, for a person to change his religion, it's a big deal because it's a question of honor and tradition," Hegazy said. "My dad and my mom took it in a really bad way and would beat me."
Hegazy married another convert from Islam, Katarina, in 2005. Katarina also wants her ID changed but fears government reaction; there are numerous reports circulating among Egyptian Christians about female converts being arrested and tortured by the SSI or simply disappearing in Egypt's prison system under Egypt's Emergency Law. Renewed last week for another two years, the law grants the government broad powers of arbitrary incarceration that human rights groups have roundly criticized.
Delay Tactic
When Hegazy filed his suit in 2007, he and his wife were expecting their first child. Overnight, Egyptian media propelled him into the national limelight. And the persecution got much worse.
Two religious scholars from Al-Azhar University, one of the leading voices of Islamic thought in the Middle East, publicly declared it was legal to kill Muslims that convert to Christianity. In one incident, extremists surrounded a home where Hegazy had once lived and stayed there for several days. In another incident, a group of men ransacked and set fire to Hegazy's apartment while he was away.
Throughout his legal proceedings, several of Hegazy's attorney's have dropped out of the case after receiving death threats, being sued or being arrested. On Jan. 28, 2009, a court ruled that Muslims were forbidden to convert to another religion and ordered Hegazy to pay the costs of hearing his case. He appealed.
Hegazy lives in hiding. Unable to work, the former journalist is supported by friends and other Christians. Last month's ruling will likely delay a decision in Hegazy's case for several years and keep him and his family in limbo.
"The court is using this decision as a way of delaying having to make an ultimate decision," Hegazy said.
The couple's first child, Mariam, is now 2 years old, and their second child, Yousef, is 3 months old. Because Hegazy and his wife are unable to change their ID to reflect their true faith, the government lists both of their children as Muslims. If they choose to become Christians, they will be considered apostates who, in accordance with longstanding interpretation of the guiding scriptures of Islam, must be killed by faithful Muslims.
"It makes me feel like religion in Egypt isn't something you can choose by your own free will; it's something that you are forced to be, and nobody has a choice to choose what their religion is," Hegazy said. "It bothers me a lot because my kids know they are being brought up as Christians in their home and their parents are Christians, but they can't practice their religion outside the house."
Inconsistent Rules
Every Egyptian citizen age 16 or older must carry a state-issued ID card that is required for opening a bank account, enrolling children in school and for starting a business, among other activities. Religious identity also determines to which civil or family court one is subject.
Of primary importance to Hegazy is that the religion indicated on the ID card determines what religious education classes a child is required to take in school.
There is a stark contrast in Egypt between the treatment of Christians who want to change the religious affiliation on their ID card to Islam and Muslims who want to change their affiliation to Christianity. Generally speaking, because Muslims consider the preaching of Muhammad to be the last of three revelations from God to man, in practice "freedom of religion" in Egypt means only the freedom to convert to Islam.
Article 47 of Egypt's constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but the constitution also states that Islam is the official religion of Egypt. Article 2 of the constitution states that Islamic law, or sharia, is "the principle source of legislation" in Egypt.
The difference between the treatment of converts to Christianity and converts to Islam is illustrated in the case of Samy Aziz Fahmy. The week before the court postponed Hegazy's case, Fahmy, a Coptic Christian from Saayda village, changed his legal status to Islam. He received his ID card reflecting his new religion on the same day he applied for it – on the day he turned 18, the legal age for conversion.
"I think it's very weird and not fair that when Christians want to convert to Islam there's no problem, their papers go through and there's no discrimination against them," Hegazy said. "But when Muslims want to convert to Christianity, all of the sudden it's a big deal."
Hegazy is not alone in his legal battles. After he filed his case, other Muslim converts sought court action to change their IDs. Like Hegazy, most are in hiding of some sort. Hegazy's lead attorney, Ashraf Edward, said he is working on several ID cases. He estimates there are more than 4 million converts to Christianity who want to change the religion listed on their ID, though the basis for that figure is unclear.
"There are a lot of people who want to change their ID, but they're afraid of turning it into a court case because they don't want to be persecuted," Edward said.
International Condemnation
Human rights groups and government agencies around the world have condemned Egypt for its record on religious freedom. In a report issued earlier this month, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom outlined Egypt's problems with identification cards and the treatment of converts from Islam, taking note of Hegazy's case.
"The Egyptian government generally does not recognize conversions of Muslims to other religions," the report states. "Egyptian courts also have refused to allow Muslims who convert to Christianity to change their identity cards to reflect their conversions. In the first such case, brought by Muhammad Hegazy, a lower court ruled in January 2008 that Muslims are forbidden from converting away from Islam based on principles of Islamic law. The court also stated that such conversion would constitute a disparagement of the official state religion and an enticement for other Muslims to convert. Hegazy, who has been subjected to death threats and is currently in hiding, has appealed the ruling."
The report cited numerous other problem areas in regard to freedom of worship in Egypt, and the country remained on USCIRF's Watch List for 2010. Egypt has been on the list since 2002. Among the changes USCIRF said are necessary in Egypt is how religion is reported on Egypt's national ID card.
The commission said Egypt must "ensure that every Egyptian is protected against discrimination in social, labor, and other rights by modifying the national identity card, either to omit mention of religious affiliation or make optional any mention of religious affiliation."

Job market surprisingly strong
The U.S. job market is proving surprisingly strong and raising hopes that the economy will be resilient enough this year to withstand a budget standoff in Washington and potentially deep cuts in federal spending.
Employers added 157,000 jobs last month, and hiring turned out to be healthier than previously thought at the end of 2012 just as the economy faced the threat of the "fiscal cliff."
Still, unemployment remains persistently high. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent last month from 7.8 percent in December.
Many economists, though, focused on the steady job growth — especially the healthier-than-expected hiring late last year. The Labor Department revised its estimates of job gains for November from an initial 161,000 to 247,000 and for December from 155,000 to 196,000.

George F. Will commentary: Shutdown would hand president more excuses
When Dwight Eisenhower asked Gen. Georgy Zhukov how the Red Army cleared minefields, Zhukov replied that it marched through them.
Being profligate with lives is a perquisite of command and a luxury of those with an abundance of lives at their command.
Some congressional Republicans, who do not command their party but can implicate it in their marches through minefields, might resuscitate Barack Obama's presidency by restocking his pantry of excuses: The economy's continuing anemia will ever after be blamed on any government shutdown.
The face of this Republican faction is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on whose boots glistens dew from the grass roots. Cruz explained his thinking recently:
On Jan. 1, 2014, the Affordable Care Act's insurance subsidies begin, like a heroin drip, making Americans instant addicts. The Obama administration knows that no major entitlement, once tasted, has been repealed. The administration is uninterested in enforcing the subsidies' eligibility requirements. Hence Republicans must be prepared to shutter the government.
Obama will be blamed for resulting inconveniences because he will have vetoed funding for everything rather than accepting denial of funding for one thing: the Affordable Care Act. Granted, Republicans, not President Bill Clinton, were blamed for the 1995 shutdown. But today's circumstances are different because of the rise of the conservative grass roots.
The defeat of Obama's gun-control agenda, Rand Paul's filibuster about presidential use of drones and opposition to attacking Syria prove that presidents and traditional media no longer dominate national debates. Since 1995, the burgeoning of conservative journalism, talk radio, the Internet and social media has changed everything.
Well. Those people who are best at deceiving others first deceive themselves. They often do so by allowing their wishes to be the fathers of their thoughts, and begin by wishing that everything has changed.
If the Affordable Care Act is, as conservatives believe, as unpleasant in potential effects as it is impossible to implement, conservatives should allow what Lincoln called "the silent artillery of time" to destroy it. Obama has not noticed that many objects of his rhetorical support — the Affordable Care Act; scores of Democratic candidates; his gun-control agenda; his plan to attack Syria — have not become popular.
The government should not be closed; the debt ceiling will be raised. Republicans should, however, take to heart the last words of H.L. Mencken's summation of Theodore Roosevelt: "Well, one does what one can."
Republicans can give Democrats a ruinous opportunity to insist upon unpopular things. House Republicans can attach to the continuing resolution that funds the government, and then to the increase in the debt ceiling, two provisions: Preservation of the Affordable Care Act requirement — lawlessly disregarded by the administration — that members of Congress and their staffs must experience the full enjoyment of the Affordable Care Act without special ameliorating subsidies. And a one-year delay of the act's individual mandate.
By vetoing legislation because of these provisions, and by having his vetoes sustained by congressional Democrats, Obama will underscore Democrats' devotion: Devotion to self-dealing by the political class, and to the principle that only powerful interests (businesses), not mere citizens, can delay the privilege of complying with the Affordable Care Act.
Arithmetic, not moral failings, makes Republicans unable to overturn Obama's vetoes. So after scoring some points, Republicans should vote, more in sorrow than in anger, to fund the government (at sequester levels, a significant victory) and to increase the debt ceiling. Having forced Democrats to dramatize their perverse priorities, Republicans can turn to completing the neutering of this presidency by winning six Senate seats.
Republicans now making a moral melodrama over any vote that allows the act to be funded should remember Everett Dirksen of Illinois. The leader of Senate Republicans during passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act recalled, "Forty preachers caught me one afternoon there in that lobby. 'I am not a moralist,' I told them, 'I am a legislator.'" It is good to be both; it is sterile to be the former to the exclusion of the latter.
George F. Will writes for the Washington Post Writers Group.

Potato Leek Soup
This is the kind of soup that is so simple to make yet tastes like you really know your way around the kitchen. I grew up loving this classic soup as a kid, and eating it always brings me back to a happy place. The flavors of the leeks and the potatoes compliment each other so well. I like mine pureed, but if you like it a bit chunky you can use a potato masher instead of an immersion blender to give you bigger chunks. This is ready in under 30 minutes. (To make this gluten-free, simply eliminate the flour)
Servings: 6 • Serving Size: 1 cup • Old Points: 3 pt • Points+: 3 pt
Calories: 110.3 • Fat: 0.7 g • Protein: 3.5 g • Carb: 23.2g • Fiber: 2.3 g • Sugar: 3.4 g
Sodium 660.6 mg (without adding salt)
- 1 bunch leeks (about 4) dark green stems removed
- 1/2 large white onion, chopped
- 3 red potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5 cups fat free chicken stock (or vegetable broth for vegetarians)
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- salt and fresh pepper
Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains. Coarsely chop them when washed.
In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame. Using a wooden spoon, mix well. This will thicken your soup and give it a wonderful flavor.
Add chicken stock, leeks, onion, potatoes and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adding the milk and adjusting salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Serving size: 1.5 cups

Gov. John Hickenlooper's job approval ratings plunged in a new poll that shows Republican challenger Bob Beauprez beating the Democratic incumbent by 1 percentage point.
Coloradans give Hickenlooper a split rating, with 48 percent approving and 46 percent disapproving of the way he is handling his job as governor, according to a poll released early Wednesday by Quinnipiac University. In its April poll, Hickenlooper's job approval rating was 52 percent favorable to 39 percent unfavorable.
The April Quinnipiac poll showed Hickenlooper beating the former two-term congressman 48 percent to 39 percent. The latest poll shows Beauprez at 44 percent and Hickenlooper at 43 percent, which means the race for Colorado governor is tied.
A poll released Tuesday by NBC News/Marist found Hickenlooper beating Beauprez 49 percent to 43 percent.
In Wednesday's Quinnipiac poll, 64 percent of voters say the state's economy is "excellent" or "good," and 49 percent said the economy is getting better. Only 12 percent said it is getting worse.
"Coloradans seem generally optimistic about the future and confidant in the state's economy, but that is certainly not enough to open the way for a smooth ride to reelection for Gov. John Hickenlooper," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.
"Is former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez enjoying a bounce after his Republican primary win or is he a real challenge to the Democratic incumbent?"
Beauprez beat three GOP rivals on June 24 after winning 30 percent of the vote.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,147 registered voters, conducting live interviews on land lines and cell phones, from Friday through Monday. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
When asked the most important issue in deciding their vote for governor, with any answer allowed, 20 percent of Colorado voters said the economy/jobs, 9 percent listed gun issues and 6 percent said education or education funding.
In April, only 4 percent of the voters listed gun issues, but the topic resurfaced last month after Hickenlooper was hammered for comments he made to Colorado's sheriffs about gun-control measures passed in the 2013 session. Hickenlooper has said he didn't know he was being taped.
In a breakdown in the governor's race, Hickenlooper leads among women, Beauprez among men and they are virtually tied among crucial independent voters.
Asked their opinion of Beauprez, 31 percent had a favorable opinion, 25 percent had an unfavorable opinion and 43 percent said they hadn't heard enough. Beauprez also ran for governor in 2006, losing to Democrat Bill Ritter by 17 percentage points.
Almost 70 percent of Coloradans said they were unaware of a speech Beauprez gave in 2010, which recently was resurrected. Beauprez at the time said " 47 percent of all Americans pay no federal income tax."
"I submit to you that there is a political strategy to get slightly over half and have a permanent ruling majority by keeping over half of the population dependent on the largesse of government that somebody else is paying for," Beauprez said in the speech.
Among those who had heard about the remarks, 52 percent agreed and 40 percent disagreed, Quinnipiac found.
Lack of effort is the main reason a person is poor, 44 percent of voters said, while 41 percent cited circumstances beyond a person's control. Poor people have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return, 52 percent of voters said, while 37 percent say poor people have it hard because government benefits don't go far enough to help them live decently, Quinnipiac found.

Browns camp: Paring down the receivers
As the sun rose over morning practice Monday, the 11 wideouts on the Cleveland Browns roster worked drills with the three quarterbacks whose names aren't Brady Quinn.
On three straight plays, veteran Joe Jurevicius lined up wide and jogged 5 yards at the snap. Boring for him, but on two of those plays, Tim Carter ran an end around.
"He's definitely our fastest receiver," cornerback Leigh Bodden said later. "I mean, he's real fast."
Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski likes the end around, a simple handoff to a wideout circling through the backfield after the snap. Joshua Cribbs ran one after Carter's two tries.
Jurevicius finally got to sprint, breaking downfield out of the left slot, catching a 15-yard pass from Derek Anderson. Then it was back to the end around — Braylon Edwards this time.
A horn blared. Scattered over four practice fields, 87 Browns contracted for a full-team stretch.
After stretching, receivers coach Wes Chandler took his men for more personal attention. Chandler, like Braylon Edwards, is a former No. 3 overall draft pick.
Offensive assistant Frank Verducci kneeled by a sideline stripe and flicked footballs to a point receivers had to scoop them off the grass on the run.
Chandler praised Cribbs for saving a ball that looked uncatchable. Jurevicius went one better, with a stretched-out, one-handed snag an inch off the turf.
"Ow! Yeah!" Verducci said.
Ow? It fits in that Chandler en_joys testing his troops against pain.
In a concentration drill, receivers lined up with their backs to Verducci, just several yards away. Chandler barked a signal. Verducci's pass is in the air before the receiver turns. You half expect the nose of a ball to wedge in a receiver's facemask.
Chandler interrupted after three of these: "Throw it harder, coach."
Then came downfield blocking drills — 40 slant ... 50 power ... 60 Zorro. Rookie Syndric Septoe graded out at zero when it was his turn.
"Damn!" Chandler barked at the nervous seventh-round pick. "I just told you. ... Are you listening?"
Steptoe, 22, was followed by Jurevcius, 32.
"Attaway," Chandler told the veteran. "Good angle. Good angle."
The quarterbacks rejoined the wideouts.
Steptoe seemed lightning quick on a drill in which receivers took a fake step forward at the snap, then a quick step backward to field a quick pass. Cribbs seemed sluggish. Carter was quick but couldn't handle an Anderson strike.
The defensive backs arrived. Things got competitive.
On a sideline route by Edwards, Chudzinski chided, "Gotta stay high, Braylon."
On a deep route by Travis Wilson, Chudzinski yelled, "Run through, Travis. Separate."
The coaches seem fascinated by Carter's speed. On one fly pattern, young cornerback Jereme Perry, whose ticket to a roster spot is speed, grunted while trying to hang with Carter, then grunted harder when realizing he couldn't.
Later, rookie cornerback Eric Wright, whose raw athleticism strikes all eyes, seemed to be wearing Steptoe's shoes. A cheer for Wright's tight coverage went up behind the gallery ropes.
Cribbs ran a sideline route against safety Sean Jones, the best all-around player on last year's defense.
Cribbs used a secret move he says he pulls out every now and then. Charlie Frye fired him a sideline strike.
After getting smoked, Jones said something to Cribbs that made both men laugh.
Frye showed some chemistry with Edwards on short slants. On one, Edwards was covered tightly by the considerably smaller Wright. Edwards used his body to make a catch, then made a power spin to try to escape.
This wasn't a contact drill, but it made you wonder if bigger receivers will give Wright trouble.
In another session, offensive players lined up in assorted formations. Chudzinski is big on mixing up looks. One empty-backfield formation split five men on the line at intervals outside the tackles. Before the snap, running back Jamal Lewis and fullback Lawrence Vickers shifted into I-formation.
In a seven-on-seven drill, Anderson's rocket arm had too much fuel. He threw behind Edwards on a slant. Edwards made like a contortionist, but the fastball zipped off his hand as he twisted backward.
During one stretch, defensive backs punched footballs out of the hands of Cribbs and longshot roster hopeful Efram Hill.
"That's two!" a coach screamed after the Hill fumble. "Can't have that."
It'll take a few more sessions before the Browns know what they have in this receiving corps.

IMO dispatches cell-phone experts to help companies dial through options
Matthew Arnow's job was to help the everyday consumer figure out what kind of cell phone to buy, which wireless provider to pick and what kind of service plan to select. Now he's getting down to business.
After serving as a sales manager for a year and a half at Independent Mobile, a company that offers virtually all cell phone brands, prices and plans, Arnow acts as a business solutions executive responsible for serving as a wireless consultant to small companies. The new role is a natural fit.
"It seemed like a lot of business customers came to me because I knew all the technical aspects of the phones,'' he said.
Independent Mobile, or IMO for short, operates two retail stores, one in Shoppers World in Framingham, the other in Columbus, Ohio. The Waltham-based company officially launches IMO Business Solutions July 30, marking a shift away from the startup's strict retail setup serving individual consumers and into an underserved and potentially lucrative market of small- to medium-size business customers.
"More and more businesspeople were coming in looking for advice,'' Arnow said. "They'd be reaching out to us and now we're taking the approach of reaching out to them.''
Under IMO's free service, a wireless expert like Arnow will go out and visit companies to help them choose the right cell phone, carrier, price plan and applications - with the ultimate goal of saving the customer money.
"Every company wants to choose the best wireless option, but the time or patience to research all of today's choices makes it nearly impossible,'' said Bill Nebes, IMO's chief executive officer. "Many businesses have sought our assistance to avoid the hassle of researching all the options themselves and to find ways to reduce costs.''
IMO has set up the service as a six-step process: the "kickoff'' of the consultant's visit; unbiased "analysis'' of network capabilities and needs; "comparison'' of current phones and plans with what's available now; looking at a company's "competitive advantage'' in terms of productivity and customer service; "cost reduction'' by picking the right devices and plans; and "cash out,'' or turning in old wireless phones to IMO for cash.
"Ideally we would work with an IT director of a company or an office manager,'' said Arnow, adding that the typical business customer IMO serves has 25 to 50 phones. "A lot of companies call several people for various needs. Now they have one point person to help them with everything.''
Kevin Dewhurst, operations manager at office furniture dealer Environments at Work LLC, turned to IMO when its wireless needs suddenly grew. The Boston-based company, which has a second showroom in Framingham, went from four phones to 20 last June when it acquired a rival.
"They were there for us when we needed them. They would drive the phones over to us (at a previous office) in Natick and even to downtown Boston (after the company moved there in September) when we added employees,'' Dewhurst said. "Our needs were changing all the time and they were great at adapting to that.''
Dewhurst said the "one-stop shopping'' aspect of IMO was an "added bonus'' to the consulting services.
"In the wireless sector, you usually find that single focus,'' he said. "You either go to a Sprint store or a Verizon store or a T-Mobile store. ... IMO was able to offer us multiple options under one roof.''
Following the further consolidation in the cell-phone industry, there are now five national carriers from which to choose: AT&T, Helio, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. (Cingular, recently taken over by AT&T, is disappearing, while Nextel survives as a brand sold by Sprint Nextel Corp.) The carriers offer more than 300 types of wireless plans.
In this region, a typical cell-phone store is affiliated with one of these providers and therefore sells only one brand. Only a few of the big-box chains such as Best Buy and Circuit City carry multiple wireless carriers. IMO, which acts as a broker to all the major wireless carriers, considers itself the exception because it offers expert, independent analysis through consultations with staff and a software program that narrows down a customer's needs.
While taking on business customers over the past two months as the new service in a development phase, Arnow found that some companies had unused phone lines, sky-high data bills and dated applications.
"There's a lot of waste,'' he said. "Sometimes they realize it but it's just easier to pay the bill every month.''
IMO will also take time, if requested, to train a customer's employees on-site when new phones and wireless applications are brought into the workplace.
The company started up in 2004, opening the Ohio store in November 2005 and the Framingham outlet in February 2006. IMO is close to shifting into expansion mode but will add stores only after careful calculation, according to Tony Andrews, vice president of retail operations.
"Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, had his first store for seven years,'' he said. "The easiest thing you can do is open stores and lose money. We're very conscious of doing something unique.''
The expansion would start with eight to 10 locations set up as a "district of stores'' in a particular market, Andrews said, adding that the growth may or may not take place in the two markets - Boston and central Ohio - in which IMO has a tiny toehold.
IMO has raised about $13 million in venture capital, all from Highland Capital Partners in Lexington.
"They are very, very strong supporters of what we are doing and clearly want us to have a national presence,'' Andrews said. "But we're still in the prove-the-model stage.''

Stevens Point, Wis.: A Wisconsin woman who lost her diamond wedding ring five years ago had given up all hope of finding it after searching high and low.
It turns out her mischievous dog may have had it all along.
Lois Matykowski (mat-ih-KOW'-skee), of Stevens Point, was eating an ice pop two weeks ago when she noticed her granddaughter's treat was gone. Her dog, Tucker, was smacking his jaws. The 10-year-old mutt the family calls the "food burglar" had struck again, swallowing it whole.
The snatched food soon came back up. Two days later, Tucker threw up again. Matykowski tells WAOW-TV that this time when she went to clean up the mess, she found her missing ring.
Her veterinarian says the Popsicle stick may have dislodged the ring inside his belly.

Stylists precisely trim and style 'dos before brightening hair with optional color, partial highlights, or full highlights
Groupon Customer Reviews
About This Deal
- Valid with any stylist
Full vs. Partial Highlights: Exploring New Dimension
Highlights can add dimension to an existing style or double the transformative effect of a new one. Read our guide of the process to prepare for your trip to the salon.
A skilled stylist doesn't need a pair of scissors to transform a hairdo. The precise application of highlights—which isolate select strands of hair and treat them with a color, lightener, or toner—can become the basis for a brand new look without a single snip or shear. Before entering the salon, however, a client has to decide how much of the hair to highlight. Applied evenly throughout the entire head, full highlights create a natural look that mimics the way hair changes color over time in the sun, adding a sense of dimension and texture to the existing hair. Partial highlights, which are typically cheaper and take less time to apply, serve an altogether different purpose: drawing attention to specific features, such as bangs or newly sharpened antlers, by accenting only the locks on the surface. As a result, partial highlights are somewhat less flexible—losing their effect, for example, when putting your hair up or teasing it out.

As much as I enjoy trying new products, nothing beats having reliable favorites that are also a pleasure to use. The above are products that I come back to time and time again, and right now, each one is being used in my morning routine.
After many attempts at finding the perfect facial cleansing oil, I finally settled on Laventine's just over two years ago. Its high quality, natural ingredients, subtle but lovely aroma, and exceptional efficacy made it the clear winner. I use it every morning when only a gentle cleansing is needed and oftentimes at night to wash away makeup prior to a foaming cleanser. Laventine allows for a wonderful facial massage which aids in its purifying action. I remember reading a post over at IndiePerfumes that delved into the benefits of Ayurvedic facial massage. I've never done the full massage described in that post, but I do a mini one quite often which is relaxing and restorative.
After cleansing with the oil, I pat my face with a towel very gently so my skin still feels hydrated from rinsing. I then warm up a large pea-sized amount of Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream in my hands and apply it all over my face, making sure it's most liberally applied under my eyes. I mentioned this moisturizer in my "favorites list" last spring, and still feel the same way. Even though it feels lightweight, it hydrates like a cream and its effects last all day.
It's now time to swirl my EcoTools Bamboo Finishing Kabuki around the pan of my Jane Iredale PurePressed Base and then spritz it with some evanhealy Rose Geranium Hydrosol which imparts a slightly dewy finish to the mineral powder. Applying the powder with the EcoTools Kabuki is unbelievably soft and gives moderate coverage since its fibers are not too dense. This makes it really easy to blend, and also build coverage if you prefer more. A few other pluses about this brush are its price point ($7), it doesn't shed, and it holds up well after cleaning.
As for the PurePressed base, I can't say enough good things about that either. It has an SPF of 20, a very natural look and does an excellent job at covering up "spots" -say it with a British accent like Lisa Eldridge– as well as dark circles. That's why I concentrate the Quince Day Cream under my eyes as I apply a good amount of PurePressed Base atop my often visible dark circles with the EcoTools kabuki. In the photo, you'll see a smaller brush below the kabuki, and that's my Giorgio Armani Blender Brush. I adore its shape, soft bristles and its ability to blend foundation in hard to reach areas, like the eyes.
After all that, which just takes a couple minutes, the variety begins. It might be simply an eyeliner, mascara and lip balm day, or possibly more with eyeshadow, blush and lipstick added. Either way, I'm set for the day.

Using an online mortgage calculator can help you quickly and accurately predict your monthly mortgage payment with just a few pieces of information. It can also show you the total amount of interest you'll pay over the life of your mortgage. To use this calculator, you'll need the following information:
Home price — The dollar amount you expect to pay for a home.
Down payment — Money paid for a house from one's own funds at closing. The down payment will be the difference between the purchase price and mortgage amount.
Mortgage Interest Rate — The periodic charge, expressed as a percentage, for use of credit.
Property tax — A government tax based on the market value of a property.
Home insurance — Home insurance or homeowners insurance is typically required by lenders. You can edit this number in the mortgage calculator advanced options.
HOA Fee — Owners of condos or townhomes are required to pay homeowners association dues (known as HOA fees), to cover common amenities or services within the property such as garbage collection, landscaping, snow removal, pool maintenance, and hazard insurance.
Pay-off your Mortgage — This is the length of time you choose to pay off your loan (e.g., 30 years, 20 years, 15 years, etc.)
Loan Amortization — A complete table of periodic blended loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment so that the loan will be paid off at the end of its term. While each periodic payment is the same, early in the schedule, the majority of each periodic payment is interest. The percentage of each payment that goes toward interest diminishes a bit with each payment, and the percentage that goes toward principal increases. Later in the schedule, the majority of each periodic payment is put toward the principal. The last line of the schedule shows the borrower's total interest and principal payments for the entire loan term.

Cross-posted from Open Democracy and the Colorado Progressive Jewish News. This series, of which Part Two is below, is dedicated to the memory and contributions of Alexander Cockburn. See part 1 — Tunisia's Culture War: Salafists Run Amok.
Until late last November, when a Salafist storm broke out at the University of Tunis's Manouba Campus, Habib Kazdaghli, the dean of the Faculty of Lettres, Arts and Sciences, was living a generally quiet life. But since late last November, much has changed both for Kazdaghli and the University at Manouba.
Kazdaghli is currently the defendant in a law suit, forced to face charges stemming from an incident earlier this year in which he manhandled two female students, both wearing full veils (niqab in Arabic) who had barged uninvited into his office and were destroying his papers. Originally charged with assault and facing 15 days in prison, on July 5, Kazdaghli's case was postponed until October 25, but the charge was changed to 'violence committed by an official while carrying out his duties', which could result in a five-year prison sentence.
Among his academic interests, Kazdaghli was known as one of the few Tunisian non-Jews with genuine interest and expertise concerning the long and rich history of Tunisian Jewry. He has been an active member of the Société d'Histoire des Juifs de Tunisie, a secular historical society bringing together historians of different religions and backgrounds to study Tunisian Jewish history. While this affiliation is perhaps not the central reason for the Salafist campaign against Kazdaghli, it undoubtedly added fuel to their bigoted fire.
Manouba's calm was shattered in late November of 2011 when angry Salafist demonstrators began what would become more than six months of protests at the Manouba campus. There are some 13,000 students at the Manouba campus; left-wing and secular influences are strong there. It is likely that this explains why the Salafists have targeted the place and why Ennahda, the ruling party, has done so little to interfere with the disruptions and put an end to them. I happened to be in Tunisia at the time that this incident erupted and kept waiting, to no avail, for the authorities to step in and defuse the situation. They never did for the three weeks I was in the country. Instead, for its own reasons, the government simply let the crisis fester.
Reshaping Tunisia's political class
Breaking the influence of the country's student movement, an integral part of the coalition that overthrew the corrupt Ben Ali regime, is a key strategy of the current Tunisian ruling elite in its attempt to form a new political consensus, stripped of the more left-oriented and secular elements involved in the uprising. While the coalition that overthrew Ben Ali did not have a coherent programme – the themes that emerged from their demonstrations were clear enough: end to corruption, an economic programme that could raise wages and shrink unemployment, freedom of speech and expression, including for previously repressed religious institutions and an independent (independent of foreign powers – France and the USA in particular) foreign policy.
Why might global powers like the United States, Great Britain and France be so blasé about the rise of the Islamic fundamentalism in Tunisia (and elsewhere in the Middle East) they so criticize to home audiences? The unspoken, but unambiguous goal of Tunisia's Salafists is to help the country's new ruling elite split the revolutionary movement that toppled Ben Ali in the first place. That alliance which came together with such speed included a goodly portion of the country's youth, its student movement, its trade union, human rights fighters, its intelligentsia as well as many from the country's professional and entrepreneurial class.
Rather than integrating the students, the labour movement and the like into the new order, the ruling Ennahda Party has gone a long way to integrating many elements of the Ben Ali regime along with the country's hitherto marginalized extremist radical fundamentalist elements – the Salafists – into its new coalition, leaving many of those who actually brought down the Ben Ali and Trabelsi clans out of the mix, in the dust.
Key to isolating the more democratic and militant elements of the revolutionary coalition was to dampen and then in large measure to silence the national narrative that had exploded with the revolutionary upsurge: it was about jobs, higher wages, some reshaping of the economic model, ending corruption and extending democracy, neutralizing the role of the country's secret police and ensuring greater freedom of expression.
What stood out about this national dialogue at the time Ben Ali was forced to flee (January 14, 2011 – now a national holiday), is how little religious considerations entered into the discussions. The atmosphere was not anti-religious, religious elements were involved in many levels of the revolt. But they were just a part of the mix, and by no means the dominant part; nor were their more radical Islamic fundamentalist elements a part of the revolutionary upsurge at all.
Tunisia: the socio-economic crisis discussions turn to religion
Shortly prior to the October, 2011 national elections for a constituent assembly, the national narrative shifted sharply from the socio-economic crisis which fuelled the revolt in the first place to matters of religion. (I've written extensively about this elsewhere.) The issue shifted from being a good citizen, regardless of religion or ethnic background, to one of being a good Muslim. More and more, the essence of 'good Islam' was shaped by the more radical, medieval elements within the Muslim community, elements essentially foreign to Tunisian Islam, Salafism.
The political consequence of this shift was to tear at the fabric of the left-centre coalition that had given their blood, sweat and tears, and their lives to kick out Ben Ali. Unable to stand the religious pressure, that coalition has lost a good deal of its energy and finds itself more and more isolated. A key element in undermining the revolutionary energy which could have propelled Tunisia to new political and economic vistas has been the sustained and completely cynical attack on the country's university system in an attempt to tame it, bringing it under the control of more conservative (and not just religiously, but politically conservative) elements now in power.
Salafists are radical Islamic fundamentals whose stated goal is to turn Tunisia (and other places) into Islamic states ruled by Shari'a law. The Salafist movement is essentially foreign to Tunisian Islam, but has gained something of a foothold in the country since the overthrow of the Ben Ali government. Salafists had no role whatsoever in overthrowing the former regime. Their ranks continue to grow, especially among Tunisia's rural and increasingly unemployed youth whose anger and frustration the Salafists are effectively manipulating.
Salafists thrive in increasingly dysfunctional societies; theirs is a toxic effect. They are beneficiaries of the chaos they have done much to create and enhance. In the end, they help the powers that be 'divide and conquer', pitting potential strategic allies against one another: religious against secular, men against women, etc. In Tunisia they are being used in an effort to change the political and social map of the country through what are in essence brownshirt tactics.
What is the end game? Where is all this cultural turmoil headed? The goal is nothing less than to re-shape the Tunisian national project away from its more secular origins as far as possible. To accomplish this, the Ennahda-led coalition needs to deconstruct, if not destroy, the great social movement that brought down Zine Ben Ali, while at the same time claiming to be the inheritors of that revolution.
One hypothesis put forth is that the Salafists are heavily infiltrated by elements of the former Ben Ali secret police, a 250,000 member spook and intimidation force. There is probably some justification to this allegation, although its main argument falls flat as it lets the current government off the hook for its collusion/cooperation with the Salafists. It also ignores the deals that have been cut between the Ministry of Interior, where most of these spooks were employed, the cadre of the former ruling Rassemblement Constitutionel Democratique (RCD) Party of Ben Ali, and the post Ben Ali ruling elite in which Ennahdha has a decisive role.
The growing Salafist influence in Tunisia can be explained both by the refusal of the ruling Ennahda Party to prosecute Salafist excesses – on the contrary it has in many cases encouraged them – and as a result of considerable financial and political support of the movement by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Add to this that the United States and its European allies have turned a blind eye to Tunisian Salafist excesses and an explanation to their rapid growth in influence emerges.
Habib Kazdaghli (APF)
While a few of those demonstrating for the niqab at Manouba are university students, many were outsiders, shipped in from one Salafist demonstration to another. The demonstrators had three demands, cutting edge of what is surely a more encompassing agenda: to turn the University of Tunis into an Islamic University based upon Salafist values. Among the specific demands: the 'right' of women to wear the niqab to class – including exams; separate spaces within the university for prayer; and a curriculum that reflects 'Islamic values' to a greater degree than at present. The niqab is something virtually never seen in Tunisia in the past 60 years until now. It was illegal to wear it until a year ago.
The Salafist demonstrations provoked counter demonstrations from university students wanting to protect their hard-won academic space. The confrontations between the groups turned increasingly angry and violent and eventually had to be broken up by the police. As has been the case with many other Salafist intimidations, the police, held back by the authorities – the latter now controlled by Ennahda – reacted with glacial slowness, letting the crisis fester far beyond reasonable bounds.
As dean of the Faculty of Lettres, Arts and Sciences, Kazdaghli stood right in the Salafist line of fire. His integrity, openness to serious academic inquiry and dialogue, his refusal to give an inch to Islamic fundamentalist thuggery and more than likely his interest in Tunisian Jewish history, together made him – and the faculty he leads – a target. The Salafist protests continued into the new year with the tactics becoming more and more aggressive.
What is a bit curious is how few pro-Salafist people participated in 'defending the right' for women to wear the veil. There were no more than a handful of them – maybe 50 in all – trying to intimidate a campus of 11,000 students. The Salafists could have been easily countered by the authorities if the will had been there. But aware that they could function with impunity with the weight of the currently constructed Tunisian state on their side, the Salafists compensated for their paltry numbers with increasingly aggressive tactics.
University entrances were blocked preventing normal access; students were harassed and prevented from studying, disruptions caused class cancellations; 2011 end-of-year exams had to be cancelled and the university temporarily closed; female students were intimidated for their dress and bullied; they occupied a part of the faculty permanently.
Salafists target Tunisia's Jews and women
These Salafist protests also contained extreme expressions of anti-semitism and overt hostility to women's rights. Understanding well that the women of Tunisia are in a harsh battle to defend hard-won human and social rights, there was a marked female presence among those students protesting against the Salafist presence and demanding that the authorities act.
In response to this religious offensive, Habib Kazdaghli attempted to maintain the dignity of the University of Tunis as an academic institution based upon Tunisian law and university policies. On November 2, 2011, about three weeks before the Salafist disruptions began, the faculty board had voted to ban the niqab on campus. According to a Human Rights Watch report, "in practice though, niqab-wearers were allowed on campus and in the library but barred from classes and exams." It was probably this faculty vote, initiated in response to the growing Salafist influence nationally that provoked the Islamic fundamentalists to act.
At about the same time, similar provocations took place throughout the country, suggesting an orchestrated campaign. There were Salafist disruptions at the business school of the University of Manouba (same campus as the Faculty of Lettres, Arts and Sciences), at the School of Arts and Humanities of Sousse, the Higher Institute of Arts and Crafts in Kairouan and the Higher Institute of Theology of Tunis. Demands varied with the institutions. At Manouba they focused on the niqab; at the Institute of Theology in Tunis Salafists were demanding that moderate Islamic scholars be replaced by those more closely in tune with Salafist thinking and values.
His continued refusal to be cowed by this Salafist offensive made Kazdaghli a target of the demonstrators, but apparently also of the Tunisian authorities. The latter are probing – using the Salafists as their battering ram – just how far they can go to undo the achievements of the country's founder and first president, Habib Bourguiba, in terms of secular education and women's rights.
Kazdaghli's initial response to the Salafist disruption was to deny outsiders permission to enter the campus in order to maintain order and the continued smooth functioning of the university. Upping the ante, two niqab-ed female students forced their way into Kazdaghli's office and started to disrupt his papers. His response was to bodily toss them out of his office and in the aftermath, to press formal charges against them. These charges were never processed by the Tunisian police. But when the two women responded by pressing charges against Kazdaghli, the authorities acted swiftly, indicting the dean on charges of assault.
Kazdaghli rejects the charges and describes the lawsuit as having no merit. Defending himself, he commented, "This case was brought up by people who want to reshape our society, but I trust Tunisian justice." One of his lawyers, Ahmed Brahim added to this, "The dean who represents the university, is being sued, while those who have disrupted classes and attacked Manouba University are free. This is not the message this country has been waiting for… Protecting our universities from aggression should be the primary concern."

Solar plane leaves California on cross-country trip
A solar-powered airplane left Northern California on Friday for the first leg of a planned cross-country trip that its co-pilot described as a "milestone" in aviation history.
The Solar Impulse — considered the world's most-advanced sun-powered plane — left Moffett Field in Mountain View just after dawn. Its creators said the trip is the first attempt by a solar airplane capable of flying day and night without fuel to fly across America.
It plans to land at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas, Lambert-St. Louis airport, Dulles airport in the Washington area and New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Each flight leg will take about 19 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in each city.
"All the big pioneers of the 20th century have tried to fly coast to coast across America," said co-pilot and one of the plane's founders, Bertrand Piccard. "So now today we're trying to do this, but on solar power with no fuel with the first airplane that is able to fly day and night just on solar power."
The plane is powered by about 12,000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries.
The delicate, single-seat Solar Impulse flies around 40 mph and can't go through clouds. It weighs about as much as a car, making it vulnerable to bad weather.
Its creators said solar planes will never replace fuel-powered commercial flights. But the goal is to showcase the potential of solar power.
"What we look for is to have a new milestone in this very exciting history of aviation that can attract interest of the people, of the political world, of the media and show that with renewable energies and clean technology for energy efficiency, we can achieve impossible things," Piccard said.
The plane has previously impressed audiences in Europe. It is expected to reach Phoenix around 1 a.m. Saturday.

For weeks Ishmael Beah and his handlers have been attacking the professionalism of Australian reporters who raised questions about the credibility of A Long Way Gone. Now Beah has used a similar tactic on the gifted Village Voice reporter Graham Rayman, who first wrote about the controversy in the March 18 issue of the alternate weekly www.villagevoice.com/news/0812,boy_soldier,381308,1.html.
Rayman caught up with the author when he spoke about his book at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. He asked Beah, who claims to have spent more than two years as a child solider in Sierra Leone, if he had used composite characters or taken events that had happened to others and presented them as his own.
"You should ask Peter Wilson that question. I'm sure he gave you all these questions," Beah said, according to a story in the April 15 issue of the Voice. Beah was referring to a reporter for the Australian who visited Sierra Leone and could find no evidence of a fatal brawl at a UNICEF camp described in A Long Way Gone.
Rayman responded in the article:
"Beah was wrong in assuming that the questions were fed to the Voice by Wilson, but his response suggested that he is flustered by the doubts that have been raised about his book."
Here's my question for Beah: If he didn't use composite characters or pass off others' experiences as his own, why didn't he settle the matter right then by saying "no" instead of insulting Rayman's professionalism by implying that he couldn't have thought of his questions on his own?
To read Rayman's April 15 story on Beah's talk at John Jay, Google "Rayman + Beah + John Jay." [I will insert a working link here as soon as I can.] Rayman asked Beah about the fatal brawl that he claims occurred at a UNICEF camp and Beah replied cryptically, "There was so much that happened in the war that was not recorded," but again offered no proof that the incident occurred. I am quoted in Rayman's earlier story in the controversy.
